BuddyPress.org

Hello,

When upgrading to PHP 7, I saw a number of errors and warnings from Siteground’s PHP 7 compatibility checker. The only one I needed to act on was:

$empty_translations = & new Translations(); in /bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/pomo/sample/app.php

In the next release, is it possible to have that line updated to just:

$empty_translations = new Translations();

Thanks,

@awijasa
